Ombre Ruffle Curtains

Description

When I saw the ruffle curtains at Urban, and the ombre ruffle shower curtain at Anthropologie, I knew exactly what type of curtains I wanted my little girl to have in her nursery. They took about two days to make, and even though I definitely needed to see the chiropractor afterwards, for $50, they were totally worth it! Making them wasn’t hard, but they are a bit time consuming. I probably would not do this project without a ruffle foot.

Absolutely Lovely and after doing my own curtains and ruffling the edges I know how time consuming it is and the sheer weight wich makes you think you have done a workout! Well done they look amazing and just so different definately different to shop brought :)

I loved the shower curtain they had at anthropologie like this. It is definitely my style, but alas my beau is not so keen on ruffles. I decided that considering the amount of time spent in the bathroom, I would concede.

I love your curtains and I love the idea of these for a nursery. The ruffles are soo feminine, but the orange makes it feel not overly precious.

Thanks! Doing multiple colors helps to break up the monotony a bit! And I took many breaks to inspect my husband’s paintwork in the nursery :). It probably would have taken at least three times as long without the ruffle foot.
